[LM_NET] HIT Music and Photostory

[Debbie Benedict <BenedictD@LITCHFIELDSCHOOLS.ORG>]

Greetings and Thanks to All,

 

Here are the results of my  request for free music that could be used in
Photostory projects. 

*         freeplaymusic.com

 

*         Many respondents just us the music function to create their
own music with photostory3 and don't have to bother with copyright and
hunting other music.

 

*         The Stacktraxx offered through digitaljuice.com are not very
expensive and are GREAT!  You can get 10 royalty-free cd's for 149
dollars.

  

*         soundzabound.com.  We have a school-wide account

 

*         The National Journalism Education Association has a new site,
JEA Digital Media, that has all kinds of resources on it related to web
and broadcast. Just last week, I compiled a list of online resources for
audio:
Go to http://jeadigitalmedia.org
Choose the tab across the top that says "Law and Ethics" and then choose
"Online Law" for my article "Copyright Info & Audio Material You Can Use
<http://jeadigitalmedia.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id
=85:copyright-plagiarism-and-audio-material-you-can-use&catid=19:online&
Itemid=78> ," which includes a handful of legal links.

*         creative commons

*        NOTE: free music files are available at: 

http://www.authentichistory.com/ (great for period music) 

(Select a piece you like, right click on "here," choose "save target
as," and save music clip to your Photostory file) 

Other mp3 sites that might be helpful include: 

http://www.televisiontunes.com/ OR http://freeplaymusic.com/ OR
http://ccmixter.org/ 

To add music with the "Create Music" button: 

- Click "Play" to preview a selection. If you like it, click OK. 

The music will load into the track. 

NOTE: Be sure to reduce the volume of your background music. The
audience must be able to hear your narration clearly over the music.

*         My kids have used music from 

*         www.brainybetty.com/soundsforpowerpoint.htm

*         www.ez-tracks.com/

*         If you search for "free music powerpoint", you will find lots
of choices.  Not current hits, but legal music.... Mary Jo Enders,

*         Super Duper Music Looper

 

Thanks again to all who responded.  I will have fun checking out all the
above possibilities.

people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of
employing wild animals as librarians."
